The Curse(Seven Deadly Sins Fanfic)

Prologue

It all started with some innocent fun, really....

Ban is in a cheery mood, to him, it was that time of year to do some harmless acts. Such as doing pranks for example. He already messed around with King, Diane, and Hawk. Their faces were hilarious! Right now, he's heading back to his beautiful Elaine, who is due to give birth to their first child at any moment. But all of a sudden, he feels a firm hand clasping onto his shoulder. Ban smirks, knowing exactly who this is and why he's here with him at this moment.

"Awwww, but captain, I was just jokiiiinnnggg! I didn't mean any harm, for real!" He croons, gracefully turning around to face the blond, green-eyed man, who looks unamused. Meliodas doesn't say anything, only cocking his head to the side, raising an eyebrow. Ban snickers but then calms down, "Alright, Alright, I'm done jokin' around. I promise ya." Meliodas shrugs and flies next to Ban, "Cool!" Ban blinks, staring at the other man.

Meliodas stares at him back, "Whaaaat? I don't have much to do today and Elizabeth insists that I go out and hangout with some friends. Sooooo, you're stuck with me for the time being!"

"Ughhhh, okaaaayy cap'n. Anyways, I found some fun!" Ban says, smirking as he looks on his left. Meliodas follows his gaze and immediately becomes worried. "Uh, that's just an old lady Ban-" But alas, his concerns fell on deaf ears. It was pranking time, unfortunately. Meliodas looks on worriedly as Ban tip toes behind the lady, who has her hood of her robe down. The bandit quickly flings it over her head and hides just in time for her to turn around. Frowning slightly before turning back to whatever task is at hand for her.

Ban waits a few minutes, watching as she puts her hood down, before striking again. He hides just in time for her to look back, grumbling to herself. Meliodas starts to get nervous, hissing for Ban to stop his antics before it's too late. But of course, Ban didn't listen. The third time he goes for it, he's met face yo face with the old woman.

Shit.

"So it was you who was doing those annoying, childish tricks? Well, do I have something for you boy..." She hisses menacingly.

Meliodas quickly goes to find whatever Deadly Sin member who is nearby, sensing that things are about to go down and get very intense. Meanwhile, Ban smirks and tilts his head slightly to the side, arching an eyebrow in skepticism. "What can you possibly do to me, granny?" He mocks.

The old woman growls, "I never had any children, show some respect!"

"Or what? Again, what can you possibly do to me?" Ban asks again, placing a hand on his hip. The old woman peers at him and rolls her eyes, "You are definitely giving 'mom energy' by doing that." She mutters under her breath. Ban heard it though, and it annoyed him. "I'm not a mom!" He replies sharply.

The old woman shrugs, "But you snapping at me, especially like that, is exactly what a mother would do." She comments, hiding her amusement of riling him up. Ban sighs and glares at her, and the old woman matches his energy and glares at him back. Soon the two start to bicker at each other and slap each other's hands as if they were in a cat fight.

Ten minutes later, Meliodas comes back with Diane, King, and Merlin. He finds Ban again and points to him, turning towards Merlin. "What did I tell you? Ban is seriously arguing and messing with a old lady." He says with triumph. Merlin snorts and smirks, but she quickly loses it when she locks eyes with the old woman, who stops her bickering with Ban and smirks this time.

Merlin looks at Meliodas, "That is not some old woman, Meliodas." She says.

"Sooooo, I just got a idea boy. Let's play a game...with those people there...."

Meliodas frowns as he listens to the next words Merlin starts to utter, "That is..."

"If you win all four rounds, you're safe. If you lose even one of them, there will be a curse!"
